I checked before writing this tab to see if there was another one up, there wasn't at
time. This version has all the verses and a couple of slight differences to the other one
I'll put it up anyway. Have a look at the notes at the bottom for some of the 
Tabbed from the version included in the 'One Of My Kind' Documentary.

CAPO 3

Intro: F

            FI (133211@1)can't live in this city

But I was born here
          DmAnd (xx0231@1)I know all these people

Where they went to high school
A#Where (x1333x@1)they got their angle

Here they waited tables
CStill (x32010@1)call me brother

Like Cain and Abel


     FThere, (133211@1)see all those old men

How'd they get so swollen?
    DmI (xx0231@1)got so many broke friends

Who say I owe them
        A#mFrom (x13321@1)when we were children

How did it happen?
CWhere (x32010@1)is it going?

                           DmIs (xx0231@1)that your question, man?
                   A#m (x13321@1)            DmWhere (xx0231@1)does all your frustration lie?
           C (x32010@1)                             DmWhy (xx0231@1)are you pulling out your hair at night?
            A#mJust (x13321@1)try and have a good time
F (133211@1) C (x32010@1) Dm (xx0231@1) A (x02220@1)name="chord_x13321@1">A#m
All the rest aside
                           FYou're (133211@1)still one of my kind

F A Dm C

             FI (133211@1)can't think in this city

But I remember
      DmI (xx0231@1)know every story that it ever told me
A#Well, (x1333x@1)I got the blueprint

To create my own myth
CThat's (x32010@1)what made it tragic

Like a summer snowdrift


      FYeah, (133211@1)going to call my first love

Meet her at the new club
DmTell (xx0231@1)her all that I've done

Finally be forgiven
A#And (x1333x@1)get good and drunk
A#mLike (x13321@1)it feels you're young
CThere (x32010@1)are things against us

                              DmBut (xx0231@1)I will fight tooth and nail
             A#m (x13321@1)             DmStand (xx0231@1)in the sickening sunshine
      C (x32010@1)                   DmAfter (xx0231@1)staying out all night
          A#mAnd (x13321@1)maybe it's the good life
F (133211@1) C (x32010@1) Dm (xx0231@1) A (x02220@1)name="chord_x13321@1">A#m
All the rest aside
C (x32010@1) Dm (xx0231@1) A (x02220@1)name="chord_x13321@1">A#m
The rest aside
C (x32010@1) Dm (xx0231@1) A (x02220@1)name="chord_x13321@1">A#m
The rest aside
                           FYou're (133211@1)still one of my kind

F A Dm C


            FI (133211@1)can't live in this city

But I'll probably die here
DmMaybe (xx0231@1)that's how you feel

Like a poisoned cornfield
A#Like (x1333x@1)a best friend backstabbed

An abandoned train track
CWe're (x32010@1)living straight-lined
                       FAre (133211@1)you one of my kind?

F A Dm C

F (133211@1)Notes:

Each time after the lyrics '..one of my kind' Conor plays F A Dm C (as shown above). For
chord he plays a little variation the general variation for each chord is tabbed out
as F' A' Dm' and C' but as usual a little improvisation around these when listening to 
song will show you what sounds right.

F'  = 133200
A'  = x02200
Dm' = x00320
C'  = x32000

For the 3rd chord in each verse Conor seems to alternate between A# (odd verses) and A#m
verses) for verse 4 i've tabbed A# then A#m (seeing as this is what he appears to play
the video) I think this might be a mistake and he meant A#m but started on A# then 
after realising. Anyway it's a minor detail and seeing as it's am unreleased song i
we can't tell, but just a thought.

Enjoy!
